As black as the night, I fall into hopeless shadows
Starlight burning through echoes
Photographs of us when we were younger
Disintegrating like ash on the tip of my fingers
Life is a sad dream, lungs filled with smoke and no reckoning
In love and in need, I don't know what love means
You broke my heart in drowning waters
Now you don't wrap your arms around me
I'm suffocating in this fog, the bitter taste of sorrow
Coming to foam like the tattoo of black blood
I've made sandcastles out of pain
The spiral of the mind when hope fades like smoke
A letter at 2 a.m. sitting in a drawer
A box you never opened and wondered
Where did the celestial light go?
You won't ever see me again, my smile disappeared
Last December in the snowy Vietnam of heartbreak
Clutching onto the pearly white of seashells
Beached and I prayed you would show me the way
The space between us everyday is getting bigger
Like a melting glacier I can't explain
Suddenly sirens appear, harsh clangs
Materialised in thin air
A screeching alarm pulls me out of sleep
The softness I dream of like a father wiping away my tears
I look out at the city and feel the aching inside
Longing for the warmth of your touch.
